In this concert season of the Masterworks Chorale, we celebrate the musical variety and spiritual unity of humanity. From our Christmas concert with carols from around the world, through the prayers for peace across the centuries in our Classics concert, to our Collage concert with folksongs and popular music appealing to all ages, we’ll demonstrate an entertaining variety of musical expression while revealing the underlying emotional connections that support a worldwide community.

The mission statement of the Masterworks Chorale is “Connecting lives through choral music,” and especially in this concert season do I hope that the beautiful and meaningful music we offer promotes the connection between us all.

Masterworks Chorale is a mixed voice ensemble comprised of singers from the Toledo area. It strives to skillfully and professionally perform a diverse variety of choral literature and provide its audiences and members with an enriching and fulfilling musical experience. Founded in the fall of 1972 by Benjamin Locke and his mother, Rose Mary Locke, the Chorale has premiered several compositions by local and world-renowned composers and sponsors annual high school internships and choral workshops.
